Fogger V4!!

Cool idea Trucker, I like it!

Ay-yay-yay

Chinese "mystery metal" has reared it's ugly had again.

I wanted to save a few bucks and instead of buying these $2.74 Coil Jigs, I bough these $2.04 ones .
I noticed that when I was turning them, they felt different. The shavings, instead of making long spirals, were shedding off almost like when cutting cast iron. A lot different then the surgical stainless steel I buy at my local store. Although it doesn't rust and it is not attracted to magnet. Weird Mystery metal of China.

oh, that sucks. Try cutting the threads first while the metal is solid, then drill the hole.

That's exactly how I do it. There is no other way. It broke when I was installing and tightening it in one of my Kayfuns. I guess I over tightened it.

Same thing happens to me with bf pos pins. Everyone thinks a bigger hole in the center is great but once I open it up past a point they get super thin.

I'd imagine you feel a huge increase with that opened up huh..

 

[BNEAT]

I worry that's going to happen on my drilled Lemo center posts: I'm sure they're just barely hanging on by a thread

 

[awsum140]

No center hole to worry about in a Fogger

Mr. BNEAT,

I have a question to the professional:

I'm fed-up dealing with Chinese "mystery metal"

I'd like to purchase some real 1/4 Stainless Steel Hex bar, but I can't decide. I want to get 316 but my lathe sais: "Get 304 instead or I won't be able to cut it for you".
My inner voice seems to agree with my lathe's opinion.

What is your opinion on that subject?

Thanks.

Mike.

316 SS Hex Bar

 

[AMDTrucking]

I'm a bf mod the atty is generally the choke point so it doesent really matter. The only a couple attys that are bigger than a .060 hole.

Sorry man, I had to use a conversion table: 0.0625 in = 1/16 in = 1.5875 mm

That's Kayfun 3.1 / Lite. Way to tight for me.

I haven't really notice much of a difference in the two. Admittedly, I don't machine much 316, but I don't remember it being a problem

edit: seems to me like the 316 actually machined better than 304: less gummy, if you know what I mean.

I know exactly what you mean.
My main concern is that 316 is "Work Hardening" and has less straight, when 304 is not "Work Hardening" (easier to machine) but stronger and less corrosion resistant.

Here, I took one of the Chinese Coil Jigs and broke it by hand. How could anything of value be made out of this stuff?

I ended up buying 303. It is like cutting mild steel and half the price of 316. Maybe I'm wrong.

For juice not air lol yeah that's like stock igo-l size haha

 

[BNEAT]

I've never knowingly used 303. Let me know how it works.

And yeah, mystery metal is what I'd call that coil jig

 

[AMDTrucking]

I saw some potential in this Erlkonigin like HuanYing tank. Potential for drilling that is. The stock airflow was too tight. The side four airholes were 1.0mm each, I drilled them 2.0mm each. The bore hole was 1.6mm, I drilled it 2.7mm. And the airtube had four 1.0mm holes on it's sides, I cut long slots on both sides.
Woo-a-la:

Now it has nice enough air supply for nickel build.

Nice. ...!!

Hey, where are you guys getting your replacement tanks for the Fogger? I slipped on a patch of ice and somehow caught myself with my mod-hand! Didn't put a mark on anything but my thumb, but somehow broke the glass. (I seriously think my thumb is what broke it!)

I took the tank out of my v4.3, since I never use that one anyway, so I'm back up and running now, but I probably should buy some replacements.

Thanks fellas. I've never bought anything from them, but I've wanted to
